Take a hike! The Tunnel Trail is just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. Hikers have made it one of the most popular recreation trails in the sunny city. The almost 11-mile trail is challenged with twists and turns and lined by beautiful views of the city. Let’s go hiking!
Casa del Herrero welcomes home and garden lovers to see this legendary estate built in 1925. The rambling 11 acre estate is today, as it was in its heyday, a magnificent example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. Along with its stylish furnishings and lush gardens, this house museum easily rivals any astonishing home on the covers of Architectural Digest.
Park it! Drive along scenic Alameda Padre Serra through the foothills east of the Mission Santa Barbara. Travel through a million-dollar neighborhood to arrive at the 18-acre park with Pacific ocean views, picnic areas and the former 19th century residence of botanist Francesco Franceshchi.
